Huawei ”Maimang 5”: Looks like a smaller version of the Mate 8

Huawei Plans to release a smaller version of what appears to look like the Huawei Mate 8 on July 14.

The poster for the phone bears a slogan which roughly translates into ”not afraid of what the young” or better put ”not afraid of being young” indicates that the phone is aimed at the younger generation.

The phone called ”Maimang 5” will have 2 versions with one of the versions featuring 4GB of RAM, 64GB of ROM, a 16MP camera with OIS and ability to shoot 4k videos; and Snapdragon 650 or 652 processor. The phone is set to compete with the likes of OPPO R9 and Vivo X7. However, unlike the Mate 8 or OPPO R9 which have metal bodies, the Maimang 5 could end up with a double glass design with a metal frame. The pricing for the phone is expected to start at 2000 Yuan ($299). We still haven’t got any confirmation, so let’s wait for more details.
